Poll: What do you think of the Provincial Growth Fund?

Denise Piper Reporter from Whangārei Leader

This week Northland got another $30m in loans and grants from the Provincial Growth Fund (PGF), which aims to improve infrastructure and create jobs in the regions.

Please explain your answers in the comments below.
